The United Nations General Assembly has designated February 11 as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science to recognise the significant contribution that women make to the fields of science and technology.

The theme for the 8th International Day of Women and Girls in Science is “Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance (IDEA): Bringing communities Forward for sustainable and equitable development.” The focus of this year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science will be on how the Sustainable Development Goals connect to the role of women and girls in science.
This day offers us the chance to recognise the impact that women and girls already make on science and to inspire young women to choose STEM career paths. It also extends support to women and girls who are interested in technical and scientific subjects in their academic and professional endeavours.
In a bid to accomplish the objective of gender equality and provide access for girls and women to engage in scientific, technical, and mathematical studies, the United Nations declared February 11 to be marked as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015. Women are still underrepresented in these sectors despite having made great strides in raising their participation in higher education.
